Link tag

Overview

You can use the Link tag to add dynamic hyperlinks to your template.

If the URL is static (ie. doesn't change), you can simply create the hyperlink using the Hyperlink button on the Insert tab in Microsoft Office. However, if the URL is stored in your Blueprint XML data source, you need a way to obtain the appropriate URL automatically when the report is generated. You can use the Link tag for this purpose. The Link tag tells the template to reference the data source, obtain the desired URL, and insert the link into the generated document.

Using the Link tag

To use the Link tag, simply place the Link tag before the content (that you want to become a link) and the EndLink tag after the content.

The template might contain something like this:

<link tag> [ArtifactName] <endLink tag>

After generating the report, the artifact name would appear in the document as a hyperlink to the artifact.
